.ae is the country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for the United Arab Emirates, abbreviated from 'United Arab Emirates' in English and read as 'Ālābó Liánhé Qiúzhǎngguó' in Chinese. The United Arab Emirates, also translated as 'the United Arab Emirates,' commonly abbreviated as 'UAE,' is a federal state composed of seven emirates: Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, Fujairah, Umm Al-Quwain, and Ras Al Khaimah.
The .ae domain name is currently managed and operated by the .aeDA, which is a subsidiary body of the Telecommunications and Digital Government Regulatory Authority of UAE, abbreviated as TDRA.
There are currently no registration restrictions for .ae second-level domains, which are open to all individuals and organizations. Some third-level domains require specific local entities for registration, such as .co.ae (for local companies in the UAE), .net.ae (for local ICT service enterprises in the UAE), .sch.ae (for local schools in the UAE), .org.ae (for local non-profit organizations in the UAE), .ac.ae (for local educational institutions in the UAE), .gov.ae (for government institutions in the UAE), and .mil.ae (for military institutions in the UAE).
The internationalized country code top-level domain in Arabic script for the UAE is امارات., which is represented in Punycode as .xn--mgbaam7a8h.
Currently, many international companies also register .ae domain names to provide services specifically for the UAE or to use as a regional redirect, such as youtube.ae, nvidia.ae, etc.

1. The renewal period for .ae domain names is the same as the registration period, with a minimum of 1 year and a maximum of 10 years.
2. After a .ae domain name is successfully registered, the total renewal period cannot exceed 10 years. That is, if you register for three years and then want to renew again, you can only renew for 7 more years, because the total registration period for that domain name cannot exceed 10 years.
3. The grace period for .ae domain name renewal and the redemption grace period are both 30 days.
4. After a .ae domain name expires, it goes through the following lifecycle: 30 days grace period > 30 days redemption grace period > 5 days pending delete. If the user does not actively renew or restore the domain name, it will be reopened for public registration on the 75th day after its expiration date. Please note that once the domain name is reopened for registration, it will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.
